Hello, my name is Larry Boyd and I will be your volunteer page keeper for the Roller Cemetery. If you have information of any of your relation who are buried there, please take the time to let me know so I can post it here for others. This is just a quick page for right now. I am moving in a few weeks and all my computer stuff is packed. Right now I am using my tiny lap top to do all this with now. I promise, when I get the time to work more on this it will look a lot better. So, please bare with me. I will be visiting the cemetery again in mid July 2000 and be taking pictures. I will add these pictures to the pages along with the information I find there. I am sorry to say, I won't able to do the whole cemetery...at least I don't think so. I'll get as much as I can when I get there.
If you have any questions, please email me and I will try to answer them.

My 3rd great grandfather Elias Roller and wife Rebecca (Robinett) Roller, settled in Christian County, Missouri on land laying between Rogersville and Sparta, Missouri where the old Roller Cemetery is now located.
Elias Roller and his wife Elizabeth (Payne) Roller owned the land and farm where the old Roller Cemetery is located. This information was given to my father by Mrs. George Wesley Roller of Sparta, Missouri. Her husband was a brother to my great grandmother Martha (Roller) Holland.
All pictures seen below were taken in the Fall of 2000 by Lawrence G. Boyd. Please ask if you want a copy. Do not use in any publication unless authorized by me. Thank You!
